Mulberry Mistletoe, Black Soybean and Eucommia Tea

Why people make this tea

Stroke predominantly affects older adults, but the trend in recent decades is toward younger ages as well — a reflection of the combined pressures of modern diet, sedentary work, stress, and inadequate sleep. Prevention is the most effective strategy, and traditional Cantonese food therapy has a long history of using certain herbs to support cardiovascular function as part of everyday diet. This tea combines three classical ingredients — mulberry mistletoe, eucommia bark, and black soybeans — that together are associated in traditional practice with supporting liver and kidney function (which are closely linked to blood pressure regulation in Chinese medicine), strengthening tendons and bones, nourishing blood, and supporting circulation. It has a mild, slightly earthy flavour with a pleasant sweetness from the south jujube. Safe for most adults including pregnant women, it can be taken several times a week as part of a mindful dietary approach to long-term wellness.
